Nicholas de Staël, Rue de Gauguet (1949) at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts
It was a little depressing to read this:
In the wake of a disappointing meeting with a disparaging art critic on March 16, 1955 he committed suicide. He leapt to his death from his eleventh story studio terrace, in Antibes. He was 41 years old.
